October 2019 Highlights

Introduction

Cotton  pARC: “Another decision instrument derivation to help inform, but not replace, your gestalt.”  

Yun  Peds elbow: “A practiced sonographer can probably find a fracture with ease, but it’s hard to incorporate into a typical workflow.”  

Friedman  Back pain RCT: “Neither metaxalone, tizanidine, or baclofen clearly demonstrated added value when treating back pain combined with ibuprofen.”  

Jones  Paracetamol combo: “Adding codeine and ibuprofen to acetaminophen/paracetamol did not result in improved pain control.”  

Drapkin  Ibuprofen doses: “It seems 400mg of ibuprofen is every bit as good as 800mg.”  

Dubosh  Missed serious events: “Serious neurologic diagnoses within 30 days are rare following ED visits.”  

Chang  RAVEN: “An outpatient stroke/TIA protocol is feasible, but perhaps this particular one could be improved.”  

Talan  Procalcitonin: “Another procalcitonin trial, another one demonstrating poor protocol compliance and disutility in the ‘real world’.”
